Nice modelling. When do we get to see it in action :)

How very co-incidental. I have my high school microscope right here beside
the computer. I have been doing the measurements for modeling it. I have one
of those black ones in the little wooden box with the handle on top.
BTW, they look nice, but maybe slightly flimsy and a little new out of the
box...

All I had was a picture and a good idea of how they work to
model from. I don't know if one like this ever existed.

Pretty neat. The mirror is rather small. The textures could use a drop in
'diffuse' too. Going to put working lenses and eyepiece in, or does it have
those already?

I'm sure something like this does exist, it looks a very
plausible design.
Now what might go with this, an egg timer, a gas light,
assorted items of anatomy in a box, I'm getting a bit
carried away now.
Nice work.

This is a good start! Only to me it seems that in the position shown on the
right the microscope could easily tip over? I'm not sure about it. Perhaps
the feet should be a little longer.
Maybe there are some details still to be added? The mechanism to move the
tube up and down seems missing :¬)
It all depends how much detail you are going to show in the final project,
of course...

The lenses are there. The "glass" is just a clear pigment sphere, it
doesn't show up much. The texture is straight from the Mega_Metals files
that were posted here. I haven't had much time to adjust the
material/texture
at all. I am also working on a set of slides.

A different view would show the mechanism to move the tube up and down.
It is complete with teeth on the rack and gear. I should make a
dismantled
display of the whole thing.

And here it is at http://home.gci.net/~mrart/Parts.jpg
It now has a proper glass texture, and some slides.

Looks like an old or cheap model... (mirror lighting, only one lens on the
nose...)
Or is it the travel version?
Good modelling.

Cool... someone is using my mega_metals. After making some "real world"
renders with them (as opposed to the demo scenes I used to create them) I
find that they might need some more work. But right now I'm working on
making mega_glass files.

PS. It helps for metals (or any highly reflective surface) to have a scene
around it to reflect.

In our day and age it would be called an antique. And at that
time, probably not cheep.

Ie, an "old" model, just like I said...Well, I can say there is an aesthetic
quality to antique tools.

I wouldn't go so far as to call them an antique. Edmund Scientific still
sells monocular microscopes and they are still used in the medical field
for slide viewing. All of the chemical and industrial manufacturing
inspection labs I have worked in had stereo microscopes. However several
of the circuit board shops I have worked in had monocular microscopes
for drill sharpening inspections and they were also used in the screen
printing area for the inspection of printing screens. They are not yet
obsolete !

I never said anything about monocularity, oh wise Ken. :-)
And were they fancy brass ones like in the pic?

Not necessarily. Many of the modern scopes are manufactured with brass
mechanisms. Brass is easily machined and is a very stable material
dimensionaly of a broad temperature range. This is important where the
scope may be used for accurate measurment work. Although they may not
appear to be made of brass this is only because they apply chrome plating
and black paint to them for packing purposes only. Under the fancy
paint and plating they are still brass for the most part.

Okay, but I was also looking at the design. Very thin arm, curvature of the
base...
